Overview
Swinging a one-piece aluminum bat is what the Rawlings Raptor is made for, with a metal handle and a Hi-Tack grip in a standard size. The Raptor is a youth model finished in blue and orange.
A short length and low weight give younger hitters a bat they can control, and the aluminum build is a single piece. The limitation is rule coverage: only USA certification is listed, so it will not meet USSSA or BBCOR requirements.
Who it's for
Parents buying a first or second baseball bat for a youth player will find the length and weight easy to compare. Older players and teams under other bat rules should look at other certifications.
Pros and cons
- Light aluminum one-piece build
- Short length for youth hitters
- USA certification only
- One length shown
- Barrel diameter not listed
- Youth sizing only
Performance notes
With a low weight and a short length, a young hitter can get the barrel through the zone without dropping the hands. The drop number tells you how many ounces lighter the bat is than its length in inches. One-piece aluminum means barrel and handle flex as one unit, so grip texture does most of the control work.
